Dining room at XIX Nineteen Restaurant, Philadelphia, PATake the elevator to the 19th floor of the Park Hyatt Philadelphia, where the doors open onto one of the city’s most sophisticated dining experiences. Updated in cream and leather by designer Meg Rodgers, Nineteen is a striking space with its ornate 50-foot domes and over-size dangling pearl “chandelier.” Actually two restaurants in one, Nineteen includes a café that caters to hotel guests and offers more casual fare, and the upscale restaurant in the cupola beyond, surrounded by sweeping views of the Philadelphia skyline. Chef de cuisine Marc Plessis combines polished classical technique with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, with the emphasis on seafood. A central raw bar includes the greatest hits---clams, scallops and oysters---along with the blue prawn cocktail. The menu mines both land and sea. Try the Alaskan halibut with fava beans, quail egg and andouille sausage, the seafood clay pot, or the braised pork cheeks with Logan Turnpike grits and crushed English peas. Desserts may include coconut raspberry bars and mango cheesecake. The brunch is worth every penny. Order any of the fruit desserts, and you won't be sorry. A $19 lunch deal delivers a repast of charcuterie, salads and cheeses, an entrée of the day, and a lavish dessert spread. Or, if you're really brave, reserve one of the terrace tables, a private dining spot with the city at your feet.
